1 Benefit and Pension Rates

2 How much money you could get If you are claiming or are thinking of claiming a benefit, you may want to know how much money you could get. If you are already getting a benefit or benefits, you may want to check the amounts you get. This leaflet can help, but it is only a general guide. It provides a list of standard benefits and the basic rates of benefits from. It then sets out some rules on extra amounts payable for dependants, and on how income and savings can affect entitlement to benefits. It does not list all the rules which explain whether or not you can get a benefit, or guarantee that you will get any amount shown. There are other leaflets which provide more detailed information on benefits and you should read these alongside this leaflet. The rules which decide how much benefit you can get can be complicated. We can only work out what benefit, and the amount you may be able to get, when you apply for a benefit. Most rates usually change from the first Monday in the new tax year, however some rates change from an earlier date in April (the tax year starts on 6 April). The rates published in this leaflet apply from. 2 Key Throughout this leaflet we refer to certain terms using the key below.
